just want to say hi... I have fibromylgia, chronic gut problems and aspergers (woohoo!).

I'm used to people getting impatient with and critical of me because I can't do what I seem capable of. I suffered a lot of abuse and emotional neglect in my 2 marriages.

then, just the other day, my lover caught me wincing because it was a pretty bad day for pain. he freaked out a little that I was in pain, then I reminded him it's just the pain I'm in all the time but worse and he made such a sympathy face that I almost cried because it's so rare for people to feel compassion.
